Forgiveness
Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
"Revenge is a kiss. This time I won't miss." That's only in James Bond's movies. When you forgive, you feel peace and you can start again. I will help you forgive and heal by hypnotherapy. Later, I will help you become a new you. Life is too short to lead an unforgiving life.
Hypnotherapy is considered an effective tool for facilitating forgiveness by addressing subconscious emotional baggage and releasing deeply held resentment or anger. It helps individuals move past lingering negativity, offering techniques to process pain, reduce self-criticism, and foster self-compassion and forgive whoever hurt you.

Forgiveness
Kiona Edwards
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCAT, ATR-BC
Forgiveness is often less about letting something go, and more about understanding what you’ve been carrying. I help clients explore the emotional weight of past experiences—whether toward themselves or others—with compassion and curiosity. Through this process, we work toward releasing what no longer serves you and creating space for greater peace and self-trust.

Forgiveness
Daniel Pagano
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, SCC
Forgiveness is a profound act of reclaiming energy trapped in resentment and unconscious projection. By understanding the shadow dynamics that bind you, we facilitate a spiritual release from the cycle of grievance, restoring psychic wholeness, and allowing you to move forward with a lighter heart and clearer vision. We view forgiveness not as condoning harm, but as an alchemical process turning bitterness into wisdom. It is a spiritual practice detaching from the ego's demand for retribution, clearing the way for your soul to heal, and transforming wounds into deep compassion and inner liberty. True forgiveness often begins internally, by softening the inner critic and accepting your own humanity. From a Jungian view, this clears debris blocking your connection to the Self. Cultivating this inner grace naturally extends outward, resolving conflicts and fostering peace.

Forgiveness
Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Struggles with forgiving significant figures in your life can impede your happiness and ability to move forward. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to work through your desire to forgive and move forward. You can understand what you can and can't control, and if any of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

Forgiveness
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Forgiveness is complicated and cannot be forced. In therapy, forgiveness is not about pretending something didn’t hurt or excusing harmful behavior. Instead, we explore what forgiveness might mean for you—whether that is letting go, setting boundaries, grieving, or finding a way to move forward without carrying the same weight.
